2nd round of BMW Championship

Justin Rose and Mark Wilson are currently tied for the lead at -10 under. Followed up by Webb Simpson at -7 under, the winner of the Deustche Bank Championship. This is the last event in the Fedex Cup and probably the biggest. Whoever comes out on top in this tournament (if there rank is high) will take the Fedex Cup title. Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson could be in trouble. In the second round Dustin is currently 5 over through 9 in the second round. Phil Mickelson on the other hand is 3 over through 15. If Dustin and Phil can't make the cut they will not move on, and worse they will drop in the Fedex Cup rankings. But they are not the only ones struggling. Jason Day is 3 over through 13 in the second round.
Along with Steve Stricker who is also 3 over through 10. They are both ranked high in the Fedex Cup tow (Stricker especially) if they can't make the cup either they won't move on alon with Dustin and Phil.

But not everyone is doing bad. Rickie Fowler is maintaning a steady pace of -3 under through 12. He is one under for the day. Many people have confidence Rickie will win some day. But nobody is sure when he will win one. Some people say it's his inconsistant swing, or it's a case of the Sunday nerves. Rickie has been know to have a strong lead going into Sunday, but then breaking down half way through the round. He's 7 shots back and needs to make a run if he wants to get in this.

Golf can be used in different ways

Golf can be used for life lessons, exercise, or just having a good time. Golf can be used in math to solve story problems or equations. Golf can teach you patience, perserverance, and control. My bible teacher marc stomprud teaches bible, and you would be suprised that the lessons are taught in the bible, can also be learned on the golf course. There are things you learn from this game, I can't tell you what it is. You have to discover it.
